You’ve probably never heard of Venus Cow. It’s a small British legging brand I’ve been shopping with for a few years now. They used to have a gorgeous shop in Market Harborough, UK I believe got closed down by the local council over a row about a window shutter. Even the local Tory MP Neil O’Brien was involved.

It’s a shame because their cotton base layer garments are incredible, and their leggings are better than anything else I have tried. The organic cotton leggings are called The Perfect Black Leggings or PBL and they are that kind of product you cannot believe you didn’t know about. Certainly wouldn’t couldn’t find anywhere else for the unbelievable price. The kind of product that actually makes you feel a bit proud to be British, like the sandwich. Invented in 1742 and born out of necessity for the 4th Earl of Sandwich an incessant gambler who didn’t want to leave his card table but needed to be served dinner, has endured for 400 years does bare a great similarity to the specific requirements of the PBL creator, Shirley Yanez.

Absolutely wonderful fit and feel. If Marks and Spencer’s were able to make something this good with all the ethical credentials too they’d be permanently out of stock they are that good.

The leggings are the most comfortable leggings I have ever worn, thick, Matt black, no see through, when you first put them on you cannot believe you got them for £35. I’d say they feel like a £70 £80 legging.

Cannot say enough about these. It’s one of those products that doesn’t need any marketing. Once you’ve pulled them on you are never going back to the cheap ones.
